Awesome! A major part of my collection is Festina. I love Festina for some unknown reason. I don't have any vintage ones. I have never seen a vintage one until now. I love it!

So cool! I wish I could see your watch boxes! Like a modern day “7 Wonders of the World”. 😂 🍻

1969 … Such a cool point in time where designers created really bold and cool watches!

Nice one Mel! 👌

Thanks Shane! I will have to post some more vintage Festina in WRUW.

Here is a brief history of the brand I posted some time ago that you might find of interest:

Let's talk about Festina! | WatchCrunch

The only modern Festina I have in the collection is this solar powered model...

I really like this guy Mel. The brushed case, boxed crystal looks amazing and lastly the logo to the left of Festina but off center. Very cool

I have a festina in my "needs work" pile. They're beautiful pieces. I'm hoping that I can get it running soon and move it into my collection. Hopefully you'll see it in a WRUW post soon!

I forgot about this article. I remember reading it now. It's an excellent article. I came acrossed this also when I was looking up the 2 Lotus watches that I have. They are owned by Festina. All of the Festina watches that I have are all quartz. The only somewhat mechanical is my Mecaquartz

One day I will get a mechanical one. Thanks for the read and showing your awesome watches.

Drooling...again!!!

Mel, where can I find one?! It’s gorgeous!

Thanks Rich - mine came from a dealer in Romania.

My suggestion is to do what I have done and use the "saved search" feature in Chrono24.com.

Everytime there is a new listing with the word "Caribbean" in it, I receive an email from Chrono24 with images of the watches that have just been listed.

I have picked up several interesting "Caribbean" watches via this method including...

You can save any search and it will keep you informed.

Very useful feature.

Thanks, Mel. Will def set it up. I just dipped my toe into Eastern European watch sellers - a GUB. Glashutte out of Poland. Very excited.

The Jenny jumps off the page! Wow.

Excellent - GUB made some fine watches.

Julian Kampmann over at Poljot24 is great for sourcing those difficult to find but quality Eastern European watches.

Thanks. I was poking around the site. Just need Tom to deliver in the Lebois before I turn back to vintage. He’s been quiet after sending an email about switching the strap. Might have to call.

Julian has both vintage and modern.

I have picked up some Alexander Shorokhoff watches from him together with some nice Strelas and modern Poljots.

He always includes a nice tasty package of German cookies with the order. A little nice touch.

Here are a few I've picked up from Julian...

Modern

Vintage

I’m in!
